  • Determining contact angle of solutions with varying surface tension on dry and pre-wetted silica sands

    Creator:
    McGinnis, Thomas L.
    Abstract:
    Infiltration of highly concentrated solutions into unsaturated sand is suspected to be affected by the liquid-gas interfacial tension between the resident water and that of the infiltrating solution. The wetting of non-porous solid surfaces by liquids is commonly quantified by contact angle measurements. However, it is well known that wettability...

  • Evaluation of bioluminescence as a measure of bacterial cell density in porous media

    Creator:
    Uesugi, Sandra L.
    Abstract:
    Salicylate-induced, lux gene dependent bioluminescence was measured using a cooled charge-coupled device (CCD) camera to evaluate its potential as a quantitative measurement of cell density of Pseudomonas fluorescens HK44 in porous media. The CCD camera was able to detect bioluminescence from cell densities between 1x10⁶ and 1x10⁸ cells/ml in both...
